Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) is a natural herb used for centuries in Southeast Asia. It is consumed as a tea in Thailand and Malaysia, adds color to rice dishes and is used in traditional medicine. Its most remarkable feature is that it changes color according to the pH level: Blue-violet in an alkaline environment, it turns into vibrant pink tones when acid is added.

When the world of modern mixology discovered this natural miracle, the bar scene was revolutionized. No longer just a drink, the cocktail became a spectacle. The visual dimension of the drink became part of the experience as a purple liquid turned pink in front of the guest's eyes.
